Cognito A arms

[DefiantArms]

Thinking of going with a set of cognito A arms for my truck. And am wondering if anyone here has them and if they do are they smaller than stock A arms or about same size, bigger?? My tires rub my A arm at full lock now so curious if these are a little smaller may be better for me. Thanks

I have d max store a arms and they are slightly smaller in size but heavier.

I should have said cognito style I'll check out the d max store ones

Used to run 315/70 and it would rub stock arms but not the cognitos. Still hit my sway bar though.

I'm running 37-12.50's with no lift and keys turned half way up the sidewalks rub the A arms.

Post a picture of your truck if you don't mind. What do your angles look like?

 

[DefiantArms]

I'll try and take better pictures tomorrow ol lady took these

Your immense amount of back spacing from those hummer wheels is not helping you. I would go with a wider spacer (assuming your running one)

 

[DefiantArms]

I'm running a .5 spacer now and I'm looking into new rims and tires but want to try and stay with 36-37" tires the backspacing is 6.5"

 

[Chevy1925]

Different wheels may pose more issues with you trying to fit those 37. Switching to a 1" spacer ought to solve the issue but I would put the cognito arms on first, then see what kind of space you need. You may run into firewall/rocker panel rubbing issues with less backspacing though.

Personally I think it looks good with those wheels on it. You don't see that damn near at all.

You are only the second person I have seen run 37s without a lift. I would do what James said, a different wheel will have you hacking up everything.

 

[DefiantArms]

I just don't like the ride it's rough I could try and change tires before going to a different wheel I need to clean these rims up and paint them maybe do chrome bead lock nuts.

Do the cognito upper a arms lower the stance at all or are they just for runing larger tire wheel combos?wanting to lower my front 3-4" so curious if keys or arms would be best.Sorry for the hijack Defiant.

 

[DefiantArms]

They are just stronger I believe, they have a uniball version that looks high speed I was thinking about going with.

They are for leveled trucks to make that upper balljoint angle straight to take the bind off them, and the smaller tubes give you more travel before hitting the bump stop for the arm.

Pretty sure brian ran them or his lowered truck but they may have been djm, can't remember.

im running a set of the tube ones on mine, no issues, leveled, 16x8 4.5 bs, 295/75/16 tires.

also the uca can be used on leveled or non leveled applications, if its leveled, the ball joint is bolted under the control arm, if you aren't leveling it, you drop the ball joint through the hole and bolt it to the top of the UCA

I'm running the tubular Cognito ones on mine. I'm lowered abt 4 inch up from, I had to flip them sides and mount them upside down. I think they are a little slimmer in the area where you are rubbing not my much though.
